Belgian software company Collibra, which specialises in data governance solutions, has raised 20.5 million euros ($23 million) in Series B funding from Index Ventures and Dawn Capital (which recently backed another Belgian business software startup, Showpad).

Collibra CEO Felix Van de Maele tells Data News that the firm, a spin-off from the VUB, currently employs around 100 people and serves 90 customers, from big banks to retailers and pharmaceutical companies. With the fresh cash injection, Collibra plans to double its staff in the coming months, and is moving its headquarters to New York City.
